What is Slip Gauge?

Slip gauges or gauge blocks are used


as standards for precision length
measurement. These gauges are
made in sets and consist of a number
of hardened blocks made of high-
grade steel with low thermal
expansion.

Wringing :
It is nothing but combining the faces of slip gauges one over the other. Due
too adhesion property of slip gauges the will stick together. This is because
of very high degree of surface finish of the measuring faces. This process is
called as wringing.
